About Korey
Korey Fisher-Wellman brings 15 years of clinical social work experience to his practice. He holds a Master of Social Work and works as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in North Carolina. Korey speaks English and offers online sessions that fit a range of schedules and needs.
Korey trained in psychology and public administration before focusing on social work. Much of his career has been in public child welfare, which shaped his understanding of complex life stressors and system-based challenges.
Background and approach
He listens for what matters most to each person and focuses on clear, doable steps forward. In session Korey blends practical tools with a collaborative tone. He uses cognitive behavioral approaches to spot unhelpful thinking.
He draws on solution-focused and client-centered techniques to set short-term goals and build on individual strengths. Clients often bring anxiety, grief, trauma histories, substance concerns, mood struggles, parenting strain, or stress related to life transitions. Korey also supports issues around relationships, intimacy, anger, and self-esteem.
He works with people facing ADHD, compassion fatigue, career questions, and the effects of separation or blended family dynamics. Therapy is presented as a conversation about what’s getting in the way and what might help next. Korey prioritizes straightforward coping skills, clear goal-setting, and practical strategies you can try between meetings.
If a different focus makes more sense, he adjusts the plan together with the person in front of him.
How Korey's approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens without judgement and helps people name what matters. This approach fits situations where someone needs empathy, a clear sounding board, and steady support.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple skills to shift unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, mood shifts, and coping with stress or grief.
Solution-focused therapy aims for small, practical changes. Sessions highlight strengths and short-term goals so people see progress quickly. This method works well when someone wants targeted steps and measurable improvement.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Korey will talk through options and tailor methods to your needs, goals, and preferences rather than sticking to a single style. The plan can change as you make progress or face new challenges.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you work face-to-face when a fuller conversation is needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for quick check-ins, coaching-style conversations, and ongoing support between longer sessions.
